    Talking of Wine here links the classification of wines around the world with our previous episode on Phylloxera. How could such a devastating etymological event have such a positive impact on the structure of the world wine trade? Its timing with Napoleon's own classification table of 1855 led to a retrospective look at how wines have been categorised since Greek and Phoenician trading. And what happens when the rules are questioned or even broken? To be honest we were pretty good at sticking to theme this time. That said, we have our first (I think) mention of the towering influence that is Robert Parker Jnr., Joe gives us a very brief analysis of how Italians view the powers that be and he is a little dismissive of the Gironde landscape (that said he is rather fond of those in South Africa). Also, it transpires that table wine can be really rather brutal on the wallet.

    Wildwood VI
    Oct 22 2024

    Talking of Wine's monthly wander through the vines of Wildwood. It's crunch time as we near the harvest and the moment of truth is upon us. Have we had a summer or not? Spoiler alert, we talk about a lot of things that are not wanted in a vineyard at this time. All that makes life hard for Paul though makes for a fascinating Podcast. Turns out two be almost a two-parter with Dr Erica's episode on Phylloxera. We revisit the Spotted Wing Drosophila, explore the negative side of Botrytis, brush over photosynthesis and, as if there weren't enough big greek words already, throw in some Thermopylae. Aπολαμβάνω!

    Following on from our episode on closures, we have a closer look at the more modern options of Cans and Bags. Value, recycling options and aesthetics are all deliberated. As ever we digress or make random deviations. This time listen out for Festivals, space shuttles as well as a brief journey down the Danube. If your listening on a fine day with friends you could maybe set up a game of Goon of Fortune outside…
